Posted January 26, 2013 This game seems to have a long way to go, but while googling I did find a game called Alter Ego that was pretty fun. Unfortunately, I just died as a kid .___."He opens the door on your side. You turn to run away.He catches you and drags you into the car. You are kidnapped, tortured and eventually killed. This game is over. " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2013 I just played a round of the game Alter Ego that Apoco mentioned. It was pretty neat, but your decisions didn't really affect other decisions to much. I died as an old man catching a fly ball in a senior citizens game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 4, 2013 This game is strangely fun.I was born in Morocco and got Ds and decided to form a one-person band. I had several multi-platinum and diamond albums, then I moved to the United Kingdom and my monthly income got to 125,000 but then I died in a car accident at 61. Total net worth 14.7 million.Next time around I was born in Suriname (?), quit school and started recording music at 12. By the age of 50 I was making more than 1 million per month and by the time I died at 76 I had amassed a fortune of 250 million Making music is the way to go...
